Title: The Impossible Quiz
Post by Roy on Aug 19^th, 2007, 8:55pm

Here (http://www.newgrounds.com/portal/view/365143)

The description says it requires "obscure insane logic"

I thought i'd see how you guys/girls like it

There's a smaller version at addicting games, but the server won't let me put the link in

I played this once, it took me an hour, but i got to question 93. I thought i did ok, some of the questions are wierd.

It's a good thing to do when you're bored.

I played this a while ago too, gut stuck and used a walkthrough. I still didn't finish it.

By the admission of the author, some of the questions require complete guess work. Also some of the questions require clicking in specific places almost instantly. I think it'd take a single person a couple of days of continuous trying to complete the game, and a few hours with a walkthrough. If mikedagr8 can get to 93 in an hour I think he'd probably be good at roulette, too.

Not really, I'm under 18 and can't gamble. Just they took a lot of lateral thinking.

How can you be good at roulette?

He meant lucky, and I was, but i didn't play it just once obviously. Don't take it literally, i mean that i played multiple times over a 1 hour period, not just a once off.

That's a pity, you had so many posts :(

Yay 4 stars now :D

And i was one of the top 50 posters :'(

The same thing happened to iceman, except he had just become an uberpuzzler, much more annoying when it happens then.....

But the quiz, if you can call it that, is alot harder using a tracker pad, like i have, especially on [hide]106[/hide]

Your posts are still visible and your old name still links to your old profile; so it's still there.

Can they do that? I thought banning was the worst consequence they offered.

It would seem that IP banning would be a lot worse.

If you took the time to read the rest of the thread, you would realize that the problem had been solved, and the account did still exist. And this happened 2 weeks ago.

Ip banning can be solved if you have multiple computers(do multiple users work). Account ban is worse though.

For most people making a new account is easier than getting another IP.
Of course, you can also combine the two. And often you can track down who's account it is and tell on them to their mother. (People are too careless with their personal information online.) That's really mean though.. but fun ;D

Anyway, there's a new Impossible Quiz: The Impossible Quiz 2. It's Here (http://www.newgrounds.com/portal/view/398163)

Essentially the same idea, with a few mods, so you should check the help for the new stuff. Good luck!

The 50 something question with all those colors is the one that got me.

Title: Re: The Impossible Quiz
Post by Roy on Jan 30^th, 2008, 5:12pm

You mean the one that says can you STILL remember? that's a remaniscent of the first impossible quiz, the answer is is throughout it, also comes up if you click the fact of the day enough.

Title: Re: The Impossible Quiz
Post by temporary on Feb 10^th, 2008, 12:24pm

I meant question 50 something of the first quiz.

Title: Re: The Impossible Quiz
Post by Roy on Mar 5^th, 2008, 7:23pm

either way, it's the same question, you're asked to remember the sequence, blue red blue yellow, but don't worry, once it's in your head, you never forget it, i know this because i first answered that question a year ago.

(p.s. on the same question that reads: 108 = xxxxxx [where x is random number], write that down, because you'll also need it for question 108, big surprise)

Oh, blue red blue yellow. I assumed they would not use the same color more than once, no wonder I kept getting it wrong.
